New to Slimming World.

Hey all, I hope you don't mind me making a post - felt inspired to after reading so many on here.

I started SW alone on Saturday - joined the bodyopti online. I think I'm doing ok but was wondering if perhaps someone would shed an eye over todays food dairy and just reassure me I'm doing this correctly...

As per your food diary...You should check the ham your using as some of the supermarket processed stuff has syns in it, same with the cottage cheese. You appear to be missing a healthy extra B choice so make sure you have that. Also... try and have a few more syns, 7 syns a day isnt quite enough for a fella.

Ok - Wonderful, thankyou so very much. I really appreciate your help. Been really hard trying to figure this stuff out alone.
May I just clarify, is it 1 A and 2 B's? Or just on Red, I could'nt find it anywhere on the website - maybe I'm just missing it.

Hey again all, still going well I think Looking forward to hopping on the scales tomorrow.
I was just wondering if you guys would take a look at yesterdays dairy, whilst I stuck within the boundarys, I can't help thinking perhaps I should be eatting more free foods?

It feels like you ate a lot because you had almost your entire day's intake in a single meal! I mean you had next to nothing from getting up until your evening meal. I would literally be chewing my hand off come dinner time if I did this! And you're really not doing yourseld any favours - your body need food to work efficiently, think of it like a fire in the boiler room room that needs regular stoking to keep burning. And if you don;t eat much during the day then you are putting yourself at risk of being so hungry that you just stuff your face with whatever is to hand, irrespective of whether it is SW friendly or not. So a better breakfast and a proper lunch are a must do!

Thanks again all - its not usual that I go without lunch to be honest. Do you think the food diary looks ok? Like I said, I'm concerned about the "free" foods, do you think I should be eatting more of them? I'm planning to have the rest of the bugers I made yesterday this evening with perhaps a nice big salad instead of the wholemeal roll.
